Religion was very important to the ancient Egyptians. It was mostly about tradition. They did not question the belief that was handed down each generation. They did not change anything. One very strong tradition was Divine Kingship. That belief is that the Pharaoh was not only the king but a god. It was believe that the Pharaoh will be a helper in the after life. That is when they become a Osiris. Because of their beliefs, the Pharaoh had huge power. Also priest had a lot of power. When Egypt was doing really well the Egyptians would think the Pharaoh and priest were doing their jobs. But when things were going bad the Egyptians would take blame on the Pharaoh and priest.
